    I think it's a small miracle we're even 16-20. I think it's just the baseball gods evening things out. Those loses are more likely to be the difference between the 5th overall pick and the 10th overall pick.

    Something certainly changed in 2024... 2023 ISO - 0.043 2024 ISO - 0.243 2025 ISO - 0.364 The samples sizes aren't large, but that's a massive change. He mustn't have gotten the memo from Donnie Baseball yet. Looks like Loperfido did with his little slap base hit to the other field.

    I'm not. The best indication of future injury is past injuries and Ricky is made of glass. What do you think the probability he'll ever be a regular starting pitcher at the ML level? I guess he could become a Glasnow type? Seems more likely his ceiling is Josh Hader, but I think the chances of hitting that are <10% too. The floor really low. I guess if that's what makes you a Top 100 prospect, that bar is pretty low these days.

    Good luck getting Rogers to waste another $5M - $10M on this roster. They aren't morons. THE SEASON IS OVER. Every decision from here on out should be based on evaluating players within the org and setting up certain players to gain value for trade near the deadline. And for f*ck sakes, don't run Hoffman/Garcia out there every other day and destroy their arms to "try" and win another meaningless game.

    The probability he becomes a starter at the ML level must be <10% at this point. Every bullpen arm throws 95+ now. At best, he might be a closer? Doesn't seem like Top 100 prospect to me. I suspect he'll throw some innings for us during a rebuild - probably suck and then we'll ship him off ala Pearson.

    It might be best if we don't have GDT's moving forward. Save people's sanity.
  7. Brownie19
    I don't understand why anyone would put Ricky T in a Top 100 list. He's thrown like 4 innings in the past 3 years. Are you sure that's not a typo and it should be: Nimmalla 8 Tiedemann 595

    Sounds like the cleanup hitter we need!

    The only thing worse than watching the Jays these days MUST be writing about them. Kudos to the guys pumping out articles day after day about this sh*tty team for minimal views...
  10. Brownie19
    Because if he's lucky, he'll be a 4th or 5th OFer at the ML level and needs to learn how to remain somewhat useful while never playing. That's my guess at least. In the meantime, can someone show him how to hold a bat property?
  11. Brownie19
    The only reason Toronto could use him is to trade him at the deadline...

    Fast forward to the deadline. Maybe Bo will have 3 HRs by then and we can get another 35 FV AAAA type prospect for him! Then fast forward to 2029 when this team is able to contend again. Almost everything in between is going to be difficult to watch boys.

    I also remember Robbie Ray.

    Imagine a world where good things happened to the Jays once in awhile. It would be nice wouldn't it?
  16. Brownie19
    I'd never heard of Gage Stanifer - now I have. Thanks!
  17. Brownie19
    Yesavage, Stephens and Watts-Brown are all pitching well to start the season. It will be interesting to see how aggressive we get with them. Could all 3 be in AA by the end of this season?
  18. Brownie19
    I had not heard that - thanks for sharing. Really too bad for a kid who burst onto the scene in 2023. I can't imagine how difficult that would be - playing ball all your life, chasing the dream and then getting a taste of it, with huge success, only for it to all come crashing down. At least he has a ring I guess?
  19. Brownie19
    I think this is it. He's a 26 year old player with a high floor and the Jays get him for what should be all of his prime seasons. The team needed to add talent and players aren't lining up to play here. It's a calculated risk that you get the best years from Gimenez. It is an expensive risk - there's no doubt and it's easy to say it's wasted money that ought to have been spent elsewhere - but who else wants our money? Not many 26 year old players entering their prime - that's for sure. We could have given money to some aging vets, but we know they can fall off a cliff at any point. I have no idea if Gimenez will work out for the Jays. If he's a 100 wRC+ hitter who plays GG defense and brings some MUCH needed speed to the lineup - then I think it's a great move. If he's a 90 wRC+ hitter, than this probably isn't as rosey. Regardless, I understand and support the gamble.

    I thought so. This either goes to show you how quickly hitting coaches can go from being one of the best in the sport to pure sh*t - unworthy of a job (much like Martinez). Or it shows you how little impact they have.
  21. Brownie19
    Void if any sort of evidence, this doesn't really mean much to me. Sorry. Dante also left the Jays in Feb 2022. I wonder if the abilities of the players on the team have anything to do with the performance of the offense...
  22. Brownie19
    Jays offense was one of the best in baseball for 2021 and 2022, I think it's reasonable to give Martinez 2023 and 2024 before firing him at the end of the year. Texas was great in 2023 and pulled the plug on the guy early into 2025. Just a little faster hook than Toronto had. I'll be curious to see if it makes any difference in Texas.
  23. Brownie19
    It feels like you shouldn't have to explain this...
  24. Brownie19
    Ironically, when people started calling for the Jays to fire all their hitting coaches, I believe Ecker's name came up often as someone people thought was a great hitting coach who was on the leading edge. I could be wrong about that...but Texas was a Top 5 offense in 2023, so the timelines make sense. And we already brought in a new hitting coach this year in Popkins. You want him fired after 34 games? That's savage.
  25. Brownie19
    Javy Baez is back from the dead perhaps? 1 WAR on the year already and a 139 wRC+ Castro Bros did a breakdown of the changes he's made in his swing, which suggests there's a higher chance this is sustainable. Huge for the Tigers really.
